We had absolutely amazing stay in the tented pool villa! The moment I saw the place I wish we had booked a longer stay! So beautiful, peaceful and luxurious. Breakfast served to the room, floating breakfast possible if requested. Barely any mosquitoes where we stayed and the staff puts repellents on in the rooms before it gets dark. Free paddleboarding or kayaking by the main resort. Beach there was beautiful and quiet. Staff is very kind and accommodating. Be aware that the tents are high up on the hill, so it can be a bit of an exhausting walk up back to the room. Renting a scooter makes it easier though. This place is perfect for a honeymoon! We will be back for sure! Worth every penny!

We stayed on the hill in one of the luxury hornbill tents with a private pool. It was fabulous, but pricy. It was definitely worth the experience for us. We had floating breakfast in our little pool. It was amazing. We then moved down to one of the less expensive villas. These were older, less comfortable, more rustic. Ours was full of mosquitoes and a few other critters. The staff burned mossie coils and we slept under the netting, but there were still lots -- there is standing water next to the property. It may be different if you stay on the right side as you look at the ocean. Ours was in the corner on the left by the mangroves. The grounds are outstanding -- so beautiful. We saw hornbills on the property and really enjoyed the beauty of the beach and island views. The staff tried hard and were very pleasant and welcoming, but could be better trained. I think they are just coming back from COVID and are not up to full speed yet.

This is a really lovely hotel in a great location but somehow it didn’t quite live up to expectations. It’s an expensive option but in a lot of ways had more of a feel of a 3/4 star than premium property.
Beach is fantastic and the longest frontage of any hotel I’ve stayed in, really clean sandy stretch and hardy anybody using it bar the odd hotel guest.
I’d avoid the cheapest sea breeze rooms unless you are comfortable being exposed to the elements and mosquitoes, at times we needed to sit in darkness to stop insects being drawn in. That said, the room was large and had a fantastic view and will wow you at first sight.
Restaurant was ok. Good breakfast choice of reasonable quality items although staff seemed to lack confidence and weren’t that attentive unless you asked. Other than breakfast we only ate lunch once there as it seemed rather expensive compared to the other local places scattered around the area who served comparable quality at around a third of the price
We liked the free use of bikes and kayaks etc.
Pool had a good location but water seemed a bit cloudy and the filtration seemed to leave a film and scum/leaf residue in corner.
Overall we would stay again if the rates were a cheaper or the standards upped a little to improve value.

Lovely place with phenomenal view form the pool, and outstanding stuff. Had a dinner in hotel’ restaurant; food was very good, as well as service. Got an upgrade on arrival to full size villa. It was an adequate size, comfy but slightly tired. Also lights on the deck above a bed were way to strong. I had to take off one light bulb. Dimmers should be installed.

What an amazing place! They really went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, relaxing and memorable. From having someone greet us at the airport and take us to the speed boat to upgrading us to a seafront villa and even arranging a private romantic dinner for two - they were the best!!
The resort and the beach is clean, the staff are all friendly and so helpful, the Pum Pui restaurant is one of the best on the island and food is incredibly delicious! The rooms were spacious and comfortable (and they even had an outside shower). Im still day dreaming of being in the infinity pool that looked onto the Andaman Sea.
I honestly couldn't have asked for better. We did a lot of research of whether to stay on KYY or KYN and we're very happy we chose KYN and especially pleased with Koyao Island Resort.

Stayed for five days at Koyao Island Resort and it was an amazing experience. The staff was really helpful, when we checked in it turned out we had forgotten something at our previous hotel and they helped us get it back while at the same time making it an adventure.

This resort has it all! The rooms and staff are top notch, it’s on the best beach on the island, and next to the best restaurants. The bartender also makes the most fantastic cocktail we had in all of Thailand, the Tom Yam Siam. It’s a must!

We couldnt be happier that we chose to stay on Koh Yao Noi. The island is exactly what we were looking for - a quiet, beautiful, untarnished paradise. I did extensive research before deciding to book Koyao Island Resort.We arrived on a longtail boat to the beachfront of the resort. Though after we arrived, we were nearly forgotten about. They were clearly busy (or understaffed) & no one took the time to figure out who we were, tell us about the resort and what we could expect, etc. We had to flag someone down to figure out next steps & were told we could leave our bags and our room would be ready in a few hours. And that was it. Not the best first impression. We then took the resort bikes to check out the area and have lunch while we were waiting for our room. The island itself is such a gem and Id highly recommend taking time to check out the local shops, restaurants, hidden beaches, etc. The locals are SO friendly and everything feels very safe.Our villa was wonderful, spacious, & well kept. Breakfast buffet is impressive though the service at breakfast was unfriendly and sparse. We also had to call the front desk multiple times to have someone fix our toilet. Upon leaving, we went to settle our bill & saw charges in error. What next ensued was a thorough interrogation before they acted like they were doing us a favor by removing charges that werent ours. All the potential to be a 5-star experience but misses the mark when it comes to customer service.

staff was very helpful, and the resort is extremely beautiful. no lock on the door to the room, so be aware of that.there is a safe though, so there’s that. overall, had an amazing stay. just be aware that this room is open to the environment, so no ac, and critters can get in easily if that sort of thing bothers you.

Great hotel to get away from the crowded tourist areas of Phuket/Krabi. The few number of rooms this hotel has is a big asset and adds to the overall tight-knit feeling of the resort. One improvement I would suggest is more attentive service from the restaurant/bar staff.

After staying in other properties around Thailand this place pales in comparison. While going for rustic chic this resort comes off as just rustic and highly overpriced. The toilet and the sink in the bathroom do not work properly. Little privacy in our room located over the bar and next to the restaurant. We go to bed early and can hear the clanking and talking from the common areas below. Staff management tries to make up for the poor service and accommodations but they just do not have the skill set or finesse. However , the spa services were exceptional.

Hotel is excellent, the island is small and not much to do but thats exactly what we wanted. Breakfast is included and it was great. Rooms are awesome and great view. The hotel does complimentary tours, drinks every other night, yoga and fun stuff every night. The tours are expensive through the hotel so I would recommend to find one outside the hotel. Also getting in and out back to phuket is much cheaper by public transportation.

Everything about this hotel is wonderful. This resort was so different to any other we have stayed at. The outdoor style of the property added to the experience of staying on this beautiful island. The views are amazing, the staff extremely welcoming, the villas are fabulous.

Very relaxing, quiet, very nice, romantic room. A refreshing morning shower in the garden with the early sun shining on your face. Splendid sunrise above the rocky ilses and a gorgeous full moon rising up in the evening at the same spot. Very quiet and spaceous place at the beach; good food and many possiblities to do things outside the hotel.

Superb resort. Surpassed all expectations.. Highly recommended if you're looking for a peaceful setting, away from the crowds of Phuket.

We - my wife and two young kids (10 months, 2 years) - thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the the Koyao resort. The location and scenery beautiful, the staff friendly, the food tasty (try the served-in-a-coconut green curry) and the Thai massages at the spa a joy. We will return!
